CARS, and BOY



I called Anne last night, she told me I had to post a new blog! I'm behind the times I guess. Well Lately my life is just work and home. I took the semester off to decide on my major and figure out how to finish all of the requirements to continue with school. So I put all of my time into my job. It's hard, and challenging. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells with the nurse in charge of my shift... she's definitely an insecure rotten egg... the sad thing is I'm not afraid to stand up to her, but she doesn't really allow me to talk with her about any issues we have with her.. ug.

A few ladies have passed away since I've started, I miss having them around, but they better be happier where they are now then where they were!

Ok, So I've realised I don't really talk about Dan much. I thought I would make a blog describing his likes, and so forth so you guys that live far can get to know him better (considering the fact that I live with him, and will become more like him someday).

Dan works at Paragon Medical, as a machinist. He helps makes medical devices for all of the hospitals in the world. LOL; He likes the outdoors alot; I remember when I first started dating him, his mom asked me if I liked camping. She said "good" when I said yes because Dan's family goes camping every year for thanksgiving. Dan's favorite part about that event is the pie. Everyone in the family makes and brings tons of pies, atleast 3 pies for each person. Dan will eat as much pie as he can get his hands on! Pie for dinner, breakfast, lunch, you name it.

Dan loves cars. He thinks about them, dreams about them, drives them, washes them, talks to them, names them... now i'm even dreaming about them. He takes any chance he can to explain parts in the car and how they work whenever we are together for long car rides or eating a meal. I laugh when he says, "do you hear that sound that car making? what do you think is wrong with it?" What's even weirder is that I'm actually learning enough to answer him. I like learning about it, but I don't like spending all day working on cars. Dan just got rid of his yellow charger and bought a much cheaper Subaru wrx. It's bright blue and he's doing everything he can to up it's performance. So far he's gotten on ebay about every night for the passed 3 months for parts, and has gotten : A new turbo, intercooler, breaks, up pipe, down pipe system, catback exhaust, shocks (two way adjustable coil overs), fuel pump (250cc), fuel injectors (750cc), boost control solenoid, cold air intake and tons of other gadgets to get the car to run faster and better and faster and better. For his birthday this Sept I bought him new wheels, (no kids, I guess we can spend money on hobbies :) he wants to paint little tiny parts of the car pink... that's funny, he painted his break calipers pink... (check it online if you wonder what I mean.. I posted a picture of ones that are blue, picture in your mind
HOT PINK.)

Dan also is a major tease, but only when he knows you pretty well. He likes to observe situations before becoming apart of it. He loves joking with his younger brother Joel, and takes pride in the relationship he has with him. He calls his mom "UHH" and she answers to it. (I guess that's mom in Guarani.. a language from his mission to Paraguay...or it's just his way of ) He doesn't really ever want a dog (they chew his things up including his $120 calculator last semester..just 2 days before his calculus final), but he wouldn't mind having a friendly cat to cuddle with. He likes audiobooks, and we have taken to renting every one we can find at the Library. We have almost the whole Wheel of Time Series, (except for Path of Daggers) if anyone knows where I can find it, let me know!

well...Maybe if you have questions you want to ask, I can post more. I don't really know what you would want to know.

PS. I've got a lot of time on my hands, and I'm wondering if any of you have some advice on hobbies I could do, or projects that are fun. If you have anything that you do that is exciting to you, or things you see on the internet, let me know! thanks!
